BEVERAGES SUITABLE FOR NINETY
DEGREES IN THE SHADE.

What the Metropolis Offers in the Way
of Cooling Drinks-Soda Water and
Kindred Innocence - Mineral Waters,
Syrups and Nerve Foods.
What does this big town offer in the way
Of cooling drinksl Well, start from the low
ast round of the ladder in liquid refreshments
and you have-water. There are several
fountains in the city which run crystal
thread of Croton. But this is an elemental
drink that is chiefly patronized by the nurse
maids, babies and young Modocs. Ice water
at meal is common American drink. At
some of the restaurants they freeze the water
in the carafe. The next step is-water But
the first was that. Yes, but this is pure wa
ter, and the infusoria and microscopic vege-
table matter is left out. ALI sorts Of patent
and proprietary spring waters are on tap at
the thousands of fountains around town
People who do not care to take their water
straight can ha We it seasoned with soda, lime
juice, calisaya, ginger ale and ginger wines
and vichy
The next stage is mineral waters. There is
an immense list of these, some astringents,
some tonics. As rule they are manufact-
ured. The water Of celebrated springs like
Vichy, Kissingen, Hathorn at Saratoga and
others have been analyzed, and the chemical
proportions ascertained, Then pharmaceu-
tical art does what nature does for the water.
Hudnut's, the most famous place in the world
for soda water and kindred innocence, has q
long list of these waters, most of which are
effervescent Hudnut grades the weather by
Thermometer, which is quoted universally
by the local press, and he tones the weather
stricken down by myriad drinks Here are
some of the miner al waters:
APERIE ITS AND ToNIcs
Congress, Empire, Kissingen, tartrats Of
soda; Deep Rock and Saratoga (Vichy), self
ger, Gettysburg and bitter Kissingen, all Of
which are aperients, especially the last. The
bitterness is due to the sulphate Of magnesia.
Vichy and Lithia make good drink for per-
sons whose kidneys are out Of gear. So, too,
Bethesda, the famous spring at Waukesha,
Wis, which is put up and sent all over the
country. Iron water is a tonic. 1t has a
taste of rusty nails, and is slightly insipid un-
less taken very cold. One of the best springs
at Manitou, that lovely resort in Colorado,
which Is perched at the mouth Of a canyon is
of iron water. The Blue Lick sulphur spring,
a Kentucky water, has larger proportion of
sulphur than any of the waters. There is,
however, spring of sulphuretted hydrogen
at Becks, three miles from Salt Lake City,
Utah, which is SO strong that quafing glass
OF Its water is like drinking hard boiled
egg. 1t ought to satisfy hunger as well as
thirst. The Gettysburg, from the historic
war ground of Pennsylvania; the Bethesda.
the Geyser and the Poland are the natural
waters as a rule. Vichy is a good corrective
of the acidlty which sometimes accompanies
full meal Vichy and calisaya make q good
tonic and appetizer
After mineral waters come small beer, the
artless mineral vegetable beer known to chill
dren forty years ago, and still extant, sarsa-
parilla, root and pop. Weiss beer Is some
what Of the nature of pop. Then come thu
fir.y,ks -slsi~,< 11Ssi1aeu from the elaborate
monuments of marble and silver found in the
druggists. Soda water is great American
beverage. It is drink that ladies take to
kindly. A young woman will call for vanilla
soda, take the frothy beaker in her hand
gloved in Swedish kid, absorb thres sips,
while she convuisively clings to her music
roll, four boxes tied up with pink strings, a
box of chocolates, an umbrella and her pocket
book with her left arm, tlen deposit the glass
on the counter to rally from the Intoxicating
draught, take another header and consume
five swallows more, bring the glass to rest
again, and so on.
